Advanced Ideas For Helping Yourself
and
Others Avoid Chronic Aspartame Poisoning
----------------------------------------
(See: http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/asp-act.txt for simple steps)
1. Replace Coke & Pepsi machines at work with machines that include
healthier beverages such as juice, fruit-juice-sweetened sodas,
etc. Many health/exercise clubs have installed such machines, so
please contact them for ideas on where to get these machines.
If you visit a place that needs such a replacement machine,
please speak directly to the office/store manager and make that
suggestion. The least that should be done is getting such a
machine in addition (if not replacing) the Coke & Pepsi machines.
Better health of employees often leads fewer sick days, lower
health insurance costs, and better job performance. So, PLEASE
make the suggestion and the change as it will be worth it in the
long run!
This idea also applies to schools. Children should not be
constantly bombarded with junk food and advertisements for junk
food. At the very least, they should have the healthier beverage
machines as an option and should be taught in health classes
(where the curiculum is not create by junk food companies) about
making wise food and beverage choices.
2. At Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) meetings and School Board
meetings express your concern that children may inadvertently be
given aspartame-containing foods (e.g., yogurt, soda, candy,
vitamins, over-the-counter medications, gum, etc.). I have been
informed that some school districts offer aspartame-laced foods
to the unsuspecting children as a "snack." State that you want
aspartame-containing foods kept away from the children in order
to protect their health. Offer to provide information (e.g.,
sample toxicity reactions, scientific FAQs, healthier sweetener
resources (for general public & diabetics), etc.) to meeting
attendees and/or give them the web address of the Aspartame
Toxicity Information Center:

Please bear in mind that some school districts employ
well-meaning dieticians. Even though these dieticians are
well-meaining, they get their inaccurate information from the
American Dietetics Association who, in turn, got their
information *directly* from the aspartame manufacturer or their
PR group (IFIC). So, PLEASE be adamant about your feelings.
Often times going directly to the parents is more useful than
talking to school officials.
3. Write to and call manufacturers telling them that you will not
buy any of their products since they use artificial sweeteners,
particularly aspartame. Suggest to them that they should
reformulate their "diet" products with stevia (instead of some
new, potentially toxic artificial sweetener) and give them the
Stevia Web Page for more information:

4. Print out and distribute all of the documents marked
"Print/Read/Share" and the scientific FAQs on the aspartame web
page (plus the Food & Nutrition article on the main health page
if you like -- http://www.holisticmed.com/ ) to
your family, friends, neighbors, and other persons you see who are
slowing poisoning themselves with aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal,
etc.)
5. Write or call your local government representatives telling them
that you are concerned with citizens being slowing poisoned by
aspartame consumption and that you are also concerned that the
Monsanto/Benevia/NutraSweet has nearly complete control over the
actions of many government employees who are in charge of food and
chemical safety issues.
